Question 1183394: An artifact was discovered by an archeologist, who initially estimated it to be about 2500 years old. Then, after carbon-14 analysis was completed, it was determined that the carbon-14 contained in the artifact decreased from 20 grams originally to 12 grams now, so that 60% of its original amount of carbon-14 remains. After the mathematical investigation was completed, this model was created: P(t) = 20e-0.00012t, where P(t) is the amount of carbon-14 remaining after 't' years. What conclusion should be made about the age of the artifact?
